Abstract:
Disclosed are a method of executing a function of a terminal and a terminal supporting the method. The method includes identifying a position of a touch pen on the pen recognition panel; and defining a non-effective area and an effective-area for a touch input event of a touch panel aligned with the pen recognition panel based on the position of the touch pen.
Abstract:
A method for dividing and displaying a content unit includes: extracting a sub-content unit which is generated by dividing an original content unit by a preset time interval; displaying the entire sub-content unit when receiving a sub-content unit display command; receiving a jump command that selects a replay time point for an arbitrary sub-content unit among the above sub-content units; and replaying and displaying the original content unit from the replay time point.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for operation of a pen function in an electronic device. A pen recognition panel recognizes a touch pen according to a set mode. A control unit collects pen status information including at least one of information on an arrangement state between a pen recognition panel and a touch pen and a state information on whether a button of the touch pen is pushed, type information on a currently activated application program, and a gesture recognition information according to a gesture input operation of the touch pen, or collects the pen status information and the gesture recognition information. A storage unit stores a pen function table providing a pen function command corresponding to collected information according to the set mode, and a display panel displays information according to performing of a function corresponding to the pen function command.
Abstract:
A terminal and method for controlling the terminal using spatial gesture are provided. The terminal includes a sensing unit which detects a user gesture moving an object in a certain direction within proximity the terminal, a control unit which determines at least one of movement direction, movement speed, and movement distance of the user gesture and performs a control operation associated with a currently running application according to the determined at least one of movement direction, movement speed, and movement distance of the user gesture, and a display unit which displays an execution screen of the application under the control of the control unit.
Abstract:
The disclosure is a method and device for drawing a figure in correspondence to an input made with a first input tool and a second input tool to the terminal including an input unit capable of detecting physical touch and electrical input includes detecting a touch input made with the first and second input tools to the input unit; displaying at least one line movable according to contact points of the detected input on a display unit of the terminal; receiving a selection command based on the electrical input made with at least one of the first and second input tools; and displaying one of the at least one line as the line of which at least one of length and direction is fixed.
Abstract:
A method and a terminal for providing a feedback in response to a user input related to a touch panel are provided. The method includes displaying an object on the screen, detecting a hovering of a touch input means with respect to the object, and providing a visual feedback corresponding to a distance between the object and the touch input means in response to the hovering.
Abstract:
A method of operating a plurality of sensors of a user device includes detecting input using a user input means, measuring a depth value between the user input means and a screen of the user device, activating a gesture recognition function by selectively driving one or more of the plurality of sensors based on the measured depth value, and recognizing a user gesture based on pieces of information collected by the selectively driven sensors.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for displaying a task management screen of a mobile device having a touch screen. When a task management program is executed, a control unit of the apparatus constructs a task management map in which at least one application is arranged along a first axis and a task history of said at least one application is arranged along a second axis. Then the control unit displays a task management screen in which an application item related to the application on the first axis is displayed in a first direction and a task history item related to the task history on the second axis is displayed in a second direction.
Abstract:
A touch and gesture input-based control method for a mobile terminal or handheld display is provided for facilitating the switching operation between for an object in response to a gesture input subsequent to a touch input. The method includes detecting a touch input; selecting at least one object corresponding to the touch input; detecting a gesture input; and performing switching corresponding to the gesture input in a state where the object is held at a position of the touch input. The invention permits paging through lists of documents or icons, etc., while retaining the display of the held object on the touch screen.
